Web crawlers may bring security risks in some cases, for example, malicious crawlers may maliciously attack websites or steal user information. In order to deal with these security risks, the website can take the following measures: 1. Verification code: By adding verification code to the website, large-scale automatic crawling can be effectively prevented. The verification code can require the user to enter some difficult-to-recognize characters or perform simple mathematical calculations to verify the authenticity of the user. 2.IP restriction: By restricting the access frequency of the same IP address, large-scale access of reptiles can be prevented. You can set a threshold, and when the number of visits to the same IP address exceeds the threshold in a short period of time, you can temporarily prohibit access to the IP address. 3. User agent identification: By identifying the user agent field, it can be judged whether the request comes from a crawler. According to the information in the user agent field, different crawlers can be treated differently, such as restricting access frequency or prohibiting access. 4.robots.txt file: By adding robots.txt file in the root directory of the website, you can tell the crawler which pages can be accessed and which pages cannot be accessed. Crawlers can judge whether they can access a page according to the rules in the Robots.txt file. 5. Anti-crawler strategy: Some technical means can be used to prevent crawler access, such as dynamically generating pages, loading data with Ajax, and encrypting sensitive data. These strategies will increase the difficulty of reptiles, thus reducing their efficiency.
